@Villito I’ve been voicing the same concerns as you are, for the past few weeks. Since release. I’ve been told that they tailored the game to coddle you and make it easy to become the next generational superstar. It’s a very one dimensional game mode, as Tobbish said, that you’re unable to actually be a role player like a 3rd line grinder/checking forward. Instead you’re forced into becoming the next offensive godlike hockey player. And it doesn’t even matter how poorly you play, as you’ll be rewarded for the simplest thing, and not even punished for mistakes as the game will hand everything over to you on a silver platter, such as first line/pairing minutes, captaincy, etc.
It’s a huge shame that this mode “could” have been so much fun. But it missed the mark so badly, and that’s without the mentioning of the bugs.
I was really looking forward to junior seasons. Or even getting demoted, and trying to work my way back up.
The awful player movement like you mentioned really killed the mode for me too. Having star players getting tossed around to all kinds of teams.
